Hope for dravet syndrome: Long-Term safety trial of STK-001 underway
NCT ID NCT04740476
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at the long-term safety of an experimental drug called zorevunersen (STK-001) in 60 people with Dravet syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy. Participants must have completed an earlier STK-001 study. Researchers will monitor side effects, seizure frequency, and quality of life over time.
